American songwriter Aaron Frazer<\/a> rose to fame as drummer with the golden voice behind Durand Jones<\/a>. You can hear his falsetto on fan favorite Is It Any Wonder?<\/em><\/a>, for example. Before that, he played and sang with the blues rock band Charlie Patton’s War<\/a>, who made one – hard to find – album (Rock ‘N’ Roll House Party<\/em><\/a> is on my wantlist for years; anyone have a copy available?). You can recognize him out of thousands in a video<\/a> of an old street performance, but both his drumming and singing were a lot rougher then than nowadays. What a contrast to Introducing\u2026<\/em>, Aaron Frazer\u2019s debut solo album, produced by Black Keys guitarist Dan Auerbach and recorded with a crew of heavy session players, including members of the Memphis Boys. The 12 new tracks offer a mix of classic soul, disco, gospel and doo-wop, all pretty smooth and radio \/ bedroom friendly. Introducing\u2026<\/em> is co-released today on Easy Eye Sound and Dead Oceans. It might be too slick for our taste, but it could just become a soul classic that you put next to your Curtis Mayfield and Smokey Robinson records.<\/p>\n
